#481 Wont correctly episode scrape actors if add from root
I discovered that if you add a show through root, keep the default scraper as TVDB, and select default tvdb and tvdb for actors and episodes, the number of actors will not be correctly scraped. However, if you select tv show selector and change the scraper to tmdb and imdb, it will keep all of the posters and actors from the main root scrape, causing it to fail to retrieve the correct actors from the episode scrape source and not remove any posters or actors. However, if you manually add the TV show folder using Browse for folder and use the correct TV show scrapers, TMDB and IMDB, the number of actors will be correctly scraped. same if you choose tmdb and tmdb and default scraper is TVDB it will copy all the actors to the episodes and it shows the incorrect ammount of actors.
Similarly, if you select tmdb and the default scraper is TVDB, it will copy all of the actors to the episodes and display the incorrect number of actors.
Sorry when i said " select default tvdb and tvdb for actors and episodes, the number of actors will not be correctly scraped" I meant after you change the tv show and episode actors image sources after its already scraped.

I just tested with TVDb as scraper, TVDb as Series and Episode scraped.
Series gave me 17 actors. There were no actors for any of the three episode I scraped.
This is correct according to TVDB web page.
Give me one Series that this is happening to so I can reproduce.
It does it for The Little Rascals. I think only does it if all character images are blank.
Its working now. I think i had something wrong in the TV preferences before to cause it to happen since i messed around with the preferences and got it to work like its supposed to.
I was about to ask what episodes have actors assigned, as I couldn't find any in Season 1.
But noted TVDb says 20 actors, MC was only retrieving 19....till I spotted someone had created Carl Switzer twice under series actors.
OK, if its working, I will close this ticket.
Go ahead sorry for the misunderstanding I somehow messed up the tv preferences and caused it to double add the actors into the episodes somehow not sure what i did to cause it to happen if i knew I'd tell you so you could reproduce what I did.
All good. Closing Ticket.
